Athletic Training

Welcome to the MTHS Athletic Training Homepage!

A little about me:

  • Mountlake Terrace is my community. I have an extra bias towards being a part of this school.
  • Bachelor’s of Biology with a concentration in Physiology, University of Washington
  • Masters of Health and Human Performance, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
  • I have a total of more than 20 years of experience in sports medicine, across multiple settings (HS, College, Semi-Pro, Professional, performance medicine, orthopedic clinics, industrial medicine, strength training, nutrition, Seattle Childrens Hospital concussion clinic, and more).

     

  •  
  • Our team physician is Dr. Josh Go through the Sports Medicine Clinic.  His clinic days alternate between the Northgate and the ballard locations.
  • ALL visits to the doctor require a note to return to play. All of them. Every time. This is a district policy and I cannot allow them to participate without a note of clearance.
  • My schedule is posted outside the athletic training room door. It is subject to change, as athletics schedules change, however it should remain true most of the time.
  • Because we play multiple sports offsite, I may not be physically present...
  • If your athlete is injured and I have determined they have a serious injury, you will hear from me. Otherwise it is likely a first aid approach of see what the next 24 hours holds. In ANY case, feel free to contact me with questions, concerns, comments, etc.
  • A couple wellness recommendations:
    • Hydration: take your athlete’s weight and divide it by 2. They need to be getting at least that many ounces of water in daily.
    • Eat the rainbow. The best way to recover from activity and prevent injuries, cramping, etc is to find your nutrients in whole foods. The least ingredients the better, usually.
    • Energy drinks are not your friend.
    • Gatorade needs to be drank in a 1:2 ratio to water. It is not a “healthy” drink on its own.
    • Remove all screens from the bedroom. Sleep hygiene is important to their everyday wellness.
